iMARE CULTURE

Immersive serious games and augmented reality as tools to raise awareness and access to european underwater culture

The main goal of the iMare Culture research project is to re-establish the links connecting Mediterranean countries with each other, promoting a shared sense of European identity by making underwater archaeological heritage more accessible, and by protecting an outstanding symbol of the cultural exchanges and trades that have always been present in the Mare Nostrum. This goal is achieved by making underwater heritage accessible to the general public through the use of interactive technologies, virtual reality, augmented underwater reality and serious games designed by scientists, researchers, archaeologists and museum experts coming from 8 Mediterranean countries. The core activity of 3D Research is the development of underwater augmented reality systems.
